Answer:
[tex]\sf \bf {remainder}: -\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex]
In order to find remainder:
Follow this short technique:
Set the divisor which is x-½ to zero.
x - 1/2 = 0
x = 1/2
Then insert this following into dividend.
- x³ -2x² + 4x - 2
insert x = ½
- (½)³ - 2(½)² + 4(½) -2
simplify
- -3/8
Answer:
-3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume x - 1/2 is a zero of the polynomial :
- Substitute x = 1/2 (the zero) in the equation
- x³ - 2x² + 4x - 2
- (1/2)³ - 2(1/2)² + 4(1/2) - 2
- 1/8 - 2(1/4) + 2 - 2
- 1/8 - 1/2
- -3/8
-3/8 is the remainder.
